Community Donations Push GIVE NCW Campaign to Record Amount
The Community Foundation of NCW has announced the fundraising total for the 2024 Give NCW campaign.
Over $904,000 was raised during the 2024 holiday giving season, marking a record-breaking year for the regional fundraising initiative.
The Foundation's Jennifer Dolge said donors responded with an impressive 31% increase in contributions over last year’s campaign.
"There were 85 non-profits participating this year and they were all doing a lot of outreach individually to their donors to let them know what kind of an impact they're making" Dolge added "We also had some great business partnerships this year with Plaza Super Jet and Icicle Brewing doing round ups (customers adding donations to their bills) and fundraising nights at the Taproom and Munchenhaus. So I think people are knowing more about GIVE NCW and what it is."
More than 800 individuals made a contribution this year and the number of new donors also increased from 2023
The campaign runs from Thanksgiving through December 31st and supports nonprofit organizations across Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties.
Community Foundation of NCW provided the list of donations each non-profit will receive. Donors could designate the agency they wished to support or have their campaign contribution divided equally among all 85 organizations.
